for him fifty-seven times at Charleston,
S. c., in 1860, as q candidate of the
Democratic party for President to pre-
vent disunion, and declares ho did not
desire to be President of tho Confedera-
oy, but took ''prompt and, as he thought,
adequate means to prevent it." After
his election and Inauguration ut Mont
gomery all his efforts were directed to-
ward securing for the seeding States u
peaceful separation, though he never
thought Of going back into Union to es-
cape q last resort to the arbitrament of
arms.
Mr.. Davis discusses his experience as
secretary of war in MIR. Piercc'S cabinet
and Us United States Senator from Mis-
sIsslppl, his career as President Of the
Southern COnfcderaeY, and is eloquent
III his praise of GoRUaRl Albert Sic 10Y
Johnston, Lee, jackson and a. p. Hill.
lie says a. 3. Johnston had no peer on
either side during the war, if he ever had
IN American history, and his loss to the
Confcdcracy WAS irrcparable.
Speaking of the seven days battles
around Richmond, Mr.. Davis sRys Gen
eral Lee conceived and executed the
desperate plan to turn tho flank and rear
of McClellan's army, and adds that the
failure to annihilate the Federal army
was duo chiefly to the fact that General
Lee had no maps of the country below
Richmond, and that his army moved in
ignorance of the country and with guides
who for the most part proved themselves
utterly inefficient.
lie declares that Mcclellan and Meade
were the two best Federal Generals, and
If the former had boen permitted to
carry out his campaign against Rich
mond as he had planned it and received
tho hearty support of the Federal war
department it would have resulted dis
astrously to the Confederncy.
MIR. Davis and his family arc warm in
their praise of the late John w. Garrett,
and confirm Mr.. CARROTS statement,
made before his death, of how he Sc
cured MIR. Davis release from imprison-
mcnt at Fortress Monroe.

that it is better than it has been for q
number OF years. Condition is reported
at 81 per cent. tor the State; the same
as for the month of May.
The condition both of sorghum anG
sugar cane is reported as good. The

Co-Education of the Races.

MIR. Glenn, Of Whitfield county, Geor-
gia, has introduced in the Legislature of
that State bill intended to prevent the
co-cducatiOn of tho races. 1t is entitled
"a bill to regulate the manner of con-
Quoting educational institutions in this
State, and TO protect the rights of col
orcd and white people, and provide pen
altlcs for the infraction of this Act. !"
1t provides that from and after the pas
sage OF this Act no school, College or
other educational institution conducted
for the education and training of colorcd
people shall matriCulate or receive Us
pupil any white person, nor shall any
school, college or other educational iu-
stitutiOn conducted for the education of
white people receive or matriculate any
colored person as q pupil. Any teacher
or manager controlling either of said in
stitutions violating this Act shall, upon
conviction, be punished under Section
1910 Of the Code. If tie institution has
n charter, not only the teachers but the
President, secretary, members Of the
board of trustees, or other persons ILL
ing the corresponding offices, who shall
knowingly permit this Act to be violated,
are subject to Indictment and punish
ment. The punishment provided for in
this bill is the same punishment provided
for misdemcanors, o fine not to exceed
one thousand dollars, imprisonment not
to exceed six months, or work on a
chain-gang not to exceed twelve months,
any or all in the discretion of the Court.
Well-informcd members of the Georgia
Legislature declare that it will receive the
almost unanimous approval of the ap-
propriato committee, and will eventually
become law. The co-cducatiOn Of
white and colorcd children is generally
conceded to bo bad thing. The col
orcd people themselves DO not wish it.
This new Georgia law would be stop in
tho right direction.

IITNE seems to be no falling Of in
thc horrors of tenement life in some of
the Northern cities. Last week there
We're l, 1876 deaths in the city of New
York, in six days-moro than half OF

being less than five years old. On Sun.
day OF last week the deaths were 256-
l2O OF these being of children il the
tenement districts, who died in dark,
greasy, foul-smelling rooms on uppor

all the air was tainted. Surely there is
room for the exercise of practical phil
anthropy in somo organized effort to
alleviate such suffering as these figures
so sadly portray.

means of counteracting the ter
rible dry seasons with which the
people living in western Texas are
afflicted, that dams shall be thrown
across several rivers that penetrate
that region and artificial bodies of
water formed. The resultant in
crease of humidity from evapora-

ply for irrigating purposes in time
of need, would improve the climate
and insure the successful cultiva-
ton of acres that must otherwise

worn through the hills is we'll
known fact.

Our WEALTHY MEN.-Much has
been said in newspapers of men who
have made large fortunes in com
paratively few years in various
business industries. Many of these
articles are written by correspon-
dents of prominent newspapers, and
copied into others of lesser note.
Correspondents generally are sell
dom men of business qualifications
aud wrongfully picture these men
and their business as thing of ac-
cident: this is not the case with
those we have met. We find that
where men have made large fortunes
by their own business talent and
industry they chose with sagaclty
and forethought such businesses as
would lead to success when han
died with business judgment. No
man has been brought before the
public as an example of success,
both in wealth and magnitude of
his business (outside of stock and
railroad men) more prominently
than DR.. G.. G. Green of Woodbury.,
N. J. He is at the head of many
large business industries, and yet
comparatively young man. When
the fact that August Flower, for
dyspepsia and liver complaint, and
Boschee's German Syrup, for coughs
and lung troubles, have grown to
wonderful sale in all parts of the
world, it proves that it was not an
accident or spontaneous strike at
wealth. His medicines are recog-
nized as valuable and established
remedies aud the business has
grown gradually and permanently
during the last eighteen years on
account not alone of DR.. Green's
abilities as business man or his
ssgood luck" but on the actual
merits of the two preparations. :

DIR. w. I. BARNARD in charge
of the B. & 0. railroad company's
Techinal School, has made his an
ual report to President Garrett.
We have not been favored with
copy, but learn through the Labor
Free Press, it is well written pam
phlet of some two hundred pages
and contains some valuable infor-
nation on technical education in
industrial pursuits with special ref
erence to railroad service. Any
education, however liberal, which
cannot be utilized, is of little value
to the possessor. Greek and Latin
may be drugs in the market and
command little or no remuneration
in a strictly utilitarian age. While
there may be no demand for such
attainments among the industrial
classes there exists great necessity
for thorough practical technical
scientific education, which will dig
Nifty labor and open doors to its
skillful and remunerative perform
ance. That species of education
should commence in our public
schools and be prominent feature
in university training. The impor-
lance of educated, skilled labor is
recognized in England and Cont
mental Europe by the liberal state
appropriation made for its encour-
agement and support. We have
also polytechnic institutes in this
country, many Of which are found
ed by private muniicence. In these
schools civil and railroad engineer
ing, mining and drawing are spe-
cialities. The Maryland Institute
aud Mt. Clare School are produc-
tive of excellent results to that class
who have to depend on their skill
and exertions for support and, there
fore, should be regarded as essen
tial to their welfare and the advance
ment of Baltimore city as manu-
featuring centre.

The sixty-ffth anniversary of
the birth of Gen. Grant was cele-
brated in several cities yesterday.
There were number of laudatory
speeches made on the occasion,
styling the distinguished General
as the Saviour of the country"
While we have the highest appre-
citation of the services of Gen. Grant
we argree with the sentiments ex-
pressed by distinguished ex-con-
gresham, who wrote
81 think we are too prone to con-
centrate the honor which belongs
to many aud to others of equal de-
gree upon one man and one name.
| would not have our children and
children's children taught that this
nation was saved by General Grant
nor by any general. Rather, that
the Immortality of.strength in the
union itself made General Grant
and saved him as it made and saw
ed for immortality host of other
great soldiers and great and good
men,"
The habit of giving to Generals
of our armies all the praise for sue
cess is at variance with the true
history of battles. Subordinate Of
ficers and the men in the rank and
file are, after all, the true conquer
ors. Their skill, courage and Ell
durance while under fire, is what
wins the day-often too when the
battle is imperfectly planned by the
commanding officer.
